> Users with a consumer Google Account (such as Gmail users) can't access client-side encrypted content, send encrypted email, or participate in client-side encrypted meetings.

> To view or edit client-side encrypted content, users must use either the Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge (Chromium) browser.

> When the recipient is a Gmail user (enterprise or personal), Gmail sends an E2EE email. The email is automatically decrypted in the recipient's inbox, and the recipient can use Gmail in a familiar way.

Google and privacy is like Zuckerberg and moral or JD Vance and self-reflection. Only on april 1.

This is like their 3rd or 4th attempt to do encrypted email.

April Fool's!
